Whoops.

Aight.

Okay. I said something about not being that stagnant usually. I should take back my words, I guess.

Amazingly, I've not blogged for 5 to 6 days. Not trying to clock any new record or whatever. I just didn't feel like blogging. Besides, I didn't actually have anything to blog about.

I figure this won't be such a long post anyway, but just for the benefit of everyone who's asking me to blog, for I-don't-know-what-reason. But I swear my posts are not interesting. So basically, I can't fathom why anyone would want to read it anyway, much less ask me to blog more. -_-

Anyhow, I'll just go back to whatever I can remember, and they'll most likely come in random order. So if you're going to waste time and continue reading the post, I don't know if you'll understand what I'm saying.

Anyway, I thought of doing up something like The Chronicles of Pontianak, but seriously, it sounded kind of horrible. I thought of like, um, The Queen of Blur, or something. Then again, blur wouldn't be the word to sum her up. In fact, she has a character/personality that is so difficult to sum up. I mean, how can you explain someone who's zilian, bhb, intelligent, blur, and crazy, all at the same time?

I think I know the word for it. It's called Pontianak.

Just the other day I was talking to her, she said, "I am a smart ass."
Right, Shimin. I know who always tops the class. Thanks for the reminder.
Talk about being proud. (Even though she has every right to - but whatever.)

Oh, but despite her intelligence, she tends to forget lots of minor details. She's just blur. Or maybe not just blur. Queen of Blur.
Me and Cong had exchanged our nicknames on MSN that day. (Hey, you can't blame two bored people, right?) He used some Rubber Ducky for his DP, while I used the one he was using, since he sent it to me.

First thing - I do not use Rubber Duckies for my Display Picture. For nuts, that is such an obvious clue, no? But apparently, Shimin didn't notice.
I mean, even though I always change my display pictures, I usually just stick to the usual nice ones. Maybe the Snowflake, Classical Guitar, or Hera stuff, my cousin, and the like.
So, since I have so many nice display pictures for me to use, why, may I ask, would I use a rubber ducky, of all things?

That probably just didn't occur to Shimin. It's okay, Pontianak. It's just goes to show you have to be more observant.

Oh, but that wasn't all. Cong and I had changed our fonts, too. I do not like Tahoma Bold. Really. But people don't usually notice fonts a lot, I guess. But, the thing is, for most of the time, Cong was just saying whatever he wanted to say. Which, fyi, didn't sound like me at all. Especially when he doesn't capitalise his 'i's. I'm not sure about the beginning of every sentence.

That, I figured, was a big clue. BUT, again, it went unnoticed.

And it was not long after that, that she said, "I am a smart ass."
Yeah Shimin. You can say that again. Damned smart, till you didn't even bother noticing such minor details. Right. Probably far too smart.

I think, on the 6th, Lydia and HG came over.

HG was like playing Maple and stuff. Yeap. I read my book and well, used the computer for a bit. Then we watched Stuart Little downstairs.. With my cousin and whoever was in the living room anyway.

At one point of time when I was using the computer - I was using my sister's, since HG was using mine - I suddenly thought of this song, where I thought had one line of the chorus which was not in Chinese. Like in Cantonese, or something. But I didn't know because I can't understand dialect at all. (Please exclude the vulgarities)

So I told Lydia and she kept replaying that line till even my younger brother got somewhat irritated. But who cares about him anyway. Then Lydia said something along the lines of, "Not Cantonese lar! Cantonese is *yadda yadda yadda, whatever it was supposed to be in Cantonese*. Maybe Hokkien ..."
"Teochew," I suddenly said, even though I was sure it wasn't. But I was just randomly naming any dialect that came to my mind.

Then I looked at Lydia. She said I started laughing first, but I thought I saw her expression, which I thought actually read, "I am going to laugh."
So I laughed anyway, and Lydia laughed too.

As we neared the end of our laughter, I thought of something and just said, "Teochew very funny meh?"
Then we looked at each other. I think we burst out laughing again. But I forgot, so maybe not.

As we were seeing Lydia out to the bus stop when she had to go home, this taxi came along. HG and I were on bikes. We were moving from the middle of the road to the side because we saw the taxi approaching. Mind you, approaching. It hadn't even gotten to the point whereby we deserved a horn from the taxi driver.

This bloody angmoh ass (I'm not racist, please. Just that his attitude was unbearable.) poked his head out of the taxi window as they passed us and shouted. I mean shouted at us, "GET OFF THE ROAD!!" or something like that in his accented voice. I'm not sure if I heard some vulgarities there. But that's just about what I heard, and it was not pleasant.

What the fuck is wrong with him? I mean seriously, do we look like we could've cycled on the pavement or something? Hello, it was filled with grass (actually, I'm not so sure if there was grass on it, but whatever), not to mention how narrow the bloody path was. You expect two bikes and one person to use it all at the same time? Yeah, and probably slam into each other soon enough, thanks a lot.

Besides, it wasn't as if you were about to ram into us and get your bloody head ripped of your shitass neck right? Or suffer some damned serious injuries till you had to be whisked off to the hospital. HELLO, in case you didn't know how the taxi could move past, we avoided you and moved to the side. So what's your fatass problem.

Right, you were probably in a rush, or had had a bad mood or a bad day. But it doesn't concern me, and you don't have to get your head out of the window and scream out whatever you were worth. Mind you, the road does not belong to you.

I'm still pissed with him. Probably stupid to get mad over some crazy guy who enjoys screaming at people. Maybe he was drunk. Actually some car could've just sped past and knocked his stupid head off. It'd be gross of course, but that guy was really some idiot. It wasn't as if he knew us at all anyway. And we didn't even look like drunk teenagers or some stupid idiots intending to have the whole road to ourselves.

Tsk. Some people are just nuts. He probably felt thrilled after screaming his lungs out at three innocent passers-by for using the road without a vehicle.

Nothing much happened today. I just finished up The Mediator series. I think it's actually the fastest I've read so far. 6 books in about 4 days or so. I don't care if it's slow. I can take more than a month to finish a book, sometimes.

But I guess I liked The Mediator, even though I read it before.
